I have read on here that people use both soft white and daylight bulbs for flowering. Right now I have both on her a week into flower. Should I switch to just soft{2700} at this point or leave it with both?

I always figured it's okay to have both when you're flowering but I try to have more soft white lights and less daylight ones. Who knows though. I've only done one grow so far and starting my second one now.
I'm going to keep my eye on the thread so I can find more answers about it too. Good question.

you're gonna want 10,000 lumens a square foot. how man lumens do the 23w put out?

Standard answer is 70-75 percent high spectrum and 25-30 low spectrum for veg. Opposite for flower. Plants need the entire spectrum to fully mature throughout their life. Buy some splitters for like 2 bucks and you can double your lights.

And most of the useable light from CFL's is given off from the sides, not the top. So hang them sideways. You need more light tho. Clamp light at walmart is 10 bucks, splitter maybe two bucks, and 2 more lights from there. Then you can plan on buying more lights/splitters, and clamps if you keep it a CFL grow. I'm doing my first indoor grow with all CFL's right now and I have to buy lights and splitters weekly. She's only 2 weeks into flower and 4 and a half feet tall. I'm gonna have one big plant.

Personally I use warm white over soft white, others may disagree but I get heavy tight buds. I also mix in daylight cfl's. Currently I have 3 daylicht and 2 warm white cfls all 42 watter's going on my one purple moonshine and my buds are as dense as any soil grow with HID lighting.
